Romanian Eagle

? On the Salonika front where Bulgaria and the Allies fought, the Allied soldiers retreated to their positions like a tide.

Seeing the retreating Allied soldiers, the defending Bulgarian soldiers cheered their victory loudly. At the same time, several agile soldiers took out their positions and carefully turned their pockets on the fallen soldiers of the enemy, looking for useful things. The actions of these soldiers did not attract the attention of both parties at all. It has been more than a year for them to take it seriously.

The Allies were a little annoyed by this at first, and used artillery to bombard the corpses. But the effect was not great. They continued to do this after the sound of the guns stopped, which made the Allies lose their temper and could only let themselves go. They also knew that these Bulgarians were looking for property, so they all told the soldiers not to take valuables with them, but it was of little use. For soldiers facing life and death, it is safer to carry them by themselves if they do not carry them in the military camp and be stolen.

Yes, the Allied army, which consists of hundreds of thousands of troops from many countries, is not very safe in the barracks outside Thessaloniki. The main reason is that the personnel are too complicated. There are soldiers from the British and French mainland, soldiers from the Balkans from Greece and Serbia, black soldiers from Africa with original flavor, and Indian soldiers with curry flavor. Basically, the whole world You can find all races here. People from all over the world gather together and mix all kinds of customs.

So as long as these Bulgarian soldiers don't get close to their positions, the Allied soldiers will not go back to them. It's just that the Bulgarian soldiers were a little presumptuous during this time, and they all touched the center line. This made the Allied countries a little unhappy, and they planned to give them some color.

The Allied officers and soldiers hiding in ambush not far from the trenches watched the Bulgarian soldiers rummaging in the battlefield getting closer to the center line. Under the command of the leading officer to fire, he immediately raised the rifle in his hand to shoot at the enemies who were looking for the corpses.

Crack~Crack.

The sudden sound of gunfire on the battlefield shocked the Bulgarian soldiers who were picking up the corpses. Without waiting for others to speak, these soldiers quickly ran to their positions.

It can be seen from the running action that these people who dare to pick up the corpses are veterans, and each has a good skill. Aside from the soldiers who were initially ambushed, few people were hit after the gunfire.

Seeing that he had nothing to gain, the Allied officer who led the sneak attack immediately took the soldiers and fled to his position. It was too dangerous outside the position or life was more important.

The soldiers who had just picked up the corpses and ran back from the Bulgarian position were gasping for breath and could not speak. The situation just now was too dangerous, and they were all trying to escape for their lives.

But some people no longer need to calm down their emotions,

Instead, he started chatting with his comrades in the position.

It was too dangerous just now. A bullet hit my feet and almost killed me.

A short, thin soldier with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks was holding a cloth bag and bragging about the dangerous moment just now. Just then a voice came. Doro, take everyone to have a rest. Maybe the enemy will come again at some point.

The soldier called Doro immediately stopped talking to the others and replied immediately. Okay company commander, I'll take them down to rest in a while.

After speaking, Doro handed the cloth bag in his hand to the company commander who appeared. That's what we got today.

The company commander who appeared in front of Doro was obviously Second Lieutenant Bodnov, who had previously participated in the Balkan War and fought against the Romanian army with Captain Sackdorf. Lieutenant Bodnov, who had not seen him for a few years, still had the atmosphere of a military school, but now he has fully grown up. Wearing the rank of captain, he also leads a company himself.

Facing the cloth bag handed over by Doro, Bodnov did not take it, but asked instead. Anything good?

In the face of his company commander's question, Doro Xianbao took out a golden pocket watch and said. Look at the company commander, this is a gold watch made in Switzerland. Look at its fineness. I dare say that the person who uses this watch must be a great noble. There is also a paragraph in it, dedicated to my beloved Marina.

Doro opened the pocket watch cover and turned it over and handed it to Bodnov. Look at the company commander, the beauty inside must be the wife of the owner of this watch.

Bodnov, who knew what Doro was thinking, glanced at it and said. I'll take this to the city, but don't get your hopes up about whether someone will redeem you. You've only been redeemed a few times in three months.

Facing Doro, whose mind was seen through, he touched his head and said with a smile. Company commander, this is at least an opportunity. Maybe it's something of a big noble. We even make a fortune. At least we can guarantee to let us have a big meal. Think about it, champagne, fine wine, grilled steak, honey bread, etc., these Something to make everyone envy us.

Doro's words made everyone present swallow their throats, they hadn't eaten these things for too long.

Hahaha.

Bodnov burst into laughter when he saw this, and the laughter interrupted everyone's memories. Then he tapped Doss on the shoulder and said. I hope your dream comes true, even if no one redeems it, at least you can get some bread back.

Everything that happened in front of Captain Bodnov was the norm of defending the Bulgarian army on the front line. The long-term shortage of supplies forced the soldiers to find their own way. Since more than a year ago, some smart and energetic businessmen have thought of turning the seized goods obtained by the soldiers into items they can use. Alcohol and food have become the first choice of these businessmen, which is also the reason why picking up corpses in The key to prevailing in the Bulgarian army.

Such a move has developed from a private action at the beginning to a teamwork, and the distribution of the picked up property has also made a more scientific change. One third goes to individuals, one third goes to the officer class, and one third goes to soldiers. This share ratio took care of everyone, and also allowed the 'cause' to flourish, and even the families of the fallen officers paid a lot of money to redeem their relics.

This industry has also changed the fate of some people, such as this soldier named Doro. From a soldier's point of view, Doro is unqualified. He lacks enough courage to face the enemy's attack. He is a thief who is proficient in rummaging for property and escape. This makes him a very qualified candidate to pick up corpses, and in fact he does a good job.

In a career like this for nearly a year, he's always found the most valuable guy on the team, and he hasn't suffered a single injury. This made him prosperous in this deformed industry, and even Bodnov let Doro directly become the head of these people, and Doro even had his own experience in picking up corpses.

According to the amount of property acquired, Doro divided it into several grades. Among them, the first class is the British and French local officers. They have a lot of property, and they are the only people who want to meet the chance of redemption. The second class is Indian officers. These officers with curry smell are also relatively rich. As long as they have some gold products on their bodies, this is hard currency.

The third class is Australian and New Zealand officers, who generally have some watches or other items that can be sold for some money. In the end, there are other officers, who are not lucky enough to get anything.

The senior leaders of the Bulgarian military are very aware of the situation of picking up corpses on the front line. However, in order to alleviate the shortage of supplies and some other indescribable situations, the military turned a blind eye to this.

And Admiral Zekov, who is the commander-in-chief of Bulgaria and also the commander of Thessaloniki, is also clear about this. It's just that he can't care about it now, because Lieutenant General Kudinchev's telegram is giving him a big headache.

Damn it, where do I go to find 100,000 troops to send to him, and ask within ten days.

In the city of Thessaloniki, Admiral Zekov, the commander, complained to his chief of staff.

Seeing General Zekov expressing his anger, Lieutenant General Ivanov, who served as the commander of the First Army in the Balkan War and was in charge of capturing Edirne, said instead. I know Kudinchev, and he wouldn't have sent a telegram if he hadn't really been helpless.

Facing the words of his chief of staff, Admiral Zekov answered directly. I know what you're talking about. And he said that it can only block Toka. We don't want to lose this war, so we can only help him.

The Chief of Staff spoke directly. We still have two divisions in the capital.

Facing the words of the chief of staff, Zekov thought about it and said it. Only 27 of the two divisions in the capital can be used, so let's keep the 35. Don't go to the front to create chaos.

Lieutenant General Ivanov, who understood Zekov's intentions, said with a wry smile. In this case, after deducting the 27th Division, it still needs 80,000 troops. It seems that it can only be transferred from here.

Yes, I have carefully studied the battle report sent by Lieutenant General Kudinchev. Now they are more dangerous there, so they can't be overstated in the deployment of troops.

Facing Zekov's explanation, Lieutenant General Ivanov asked worriedly. The main force of Thessaloniki is drawn like this. Will it give us a chance to face the enemy?

Won't.

Facing the chief of staff's concerns, Zekov gave his answer without hesitation, and he also gave his own basis. According to my observation of the current war situation, the Allied forces we are facing have lost their spirit. If Romania starts war in the morning for a month, I will be very worried. But now we have hit the enemy's Anzac Army, the Serbs, and the others. What I'm thinking about is going back to my hometown. As for the Greeks, we have experienced their combat effectiveness in the Balkan War. There are too few British and French local troops, and it's not that you haven't seen colonial troops.

According to Admiral Zekov, none of the Allied forces in front of him could fight.

So I can mobilize the 7th Division, 11th Division, 14th Division, 21st Division and 2nd Mountain Brigade to form reinforcements, and then merge with the 27th Division in the capital, which can meet Kudinchev's needs.

After walking around for a while, Admiral Zekov still felt a little uneasy and continued to talk. In addition, the third independent artillery regiment will be transferred as support.

Lieutenant General Ivanov of the Third Independent Artillery Regiment certainly knows that this is a decent artillery unit that has participated in many battles, big and small. Among them, the regiment's 150 long-barreled cannon battalion, with a range of up to 12.5 kilometers, is one of the few ultra-long-range large-caliber artillery pieces in Bulgaria. This time, in order to deal with the Romanians, Admiral Zekov made a lot of money.

Lieutenant General Ivanov thought carefully about Admiral Zekov's arrangement, and there was no other better way. Looks like that's all it takes.

The transfer order in Zekov's mouth happened to select Captain Bodnov's company, which made the soldiers very dissatisfied.

Damn, why do you have to call us again?

Just after a bad battle, and yet to have a day off, and have to set off to fight the Romanians, why not another division.

I heard that there are many divisions selected this time. There are 7 divisions, 14 divisions, and 21 divisions. Can our 11 division escape?

Damn it, these officers don't know what to think. They just run around because they can fight. If they knew it earlier, it would be better to find a weaker unit and stay there.

The soldiers expressed their dissatisfaction with angry expressions on their faces.

All right.

Seeing that everyone was talking more and more outrageous, Captain Bodnov quickly comforted his soldiers. I don't want to be recruited to fight, but this is a military order, and we must obey as soldiers. Let's all prepare.

Under Bodnov's comfort, the soldiers were indignantly preparing for the march. As an officer who had fought against Romania, Bodnov knew that this reinforcement of Pleven made everyone very dissatisfied.

The two years of endless fighting and the lack of hope of victory has made everyone very frustrated. And the news of famine in many people's hometowns also made everyone uncomfortable. Many people have long held their dissatisfaction in their hearts. If it wasn't for the high prestige of Admiral Zekov as the commander-in-chief, such dissatisfaction would have caused even greater commotion, and it would have been suppressed like this. But if this situation continues, there will be a day when the soldiers' emotions cannot be suppressed. ()
